How did you get started doing this type of work?

1994 started at Sears Home Improvement and ascended to Assistant Manager within a year and then soon after won award for top salesperson (1/700+) in nation. Was offered NSM position in Dallas but refused to relocate so left company within another year having hit top of ladder within organization.

Most homeowners but occasionally designers, architects or other GC's.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Complicated window, door and exterior siding combination project in Burlingame - very technical with lots of detailed wood interior and finishing work.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Focus on the reputation and history of the firm you are considering hiring, their policies and the likelihood of a high-quality installation. The products and brand names are far less important.

Do as much research and due diligence in advance. Yelp!, Google, Houzz are your friends!
